Definitions
- thermoplastic resin or binder e.g. Polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers are used. These binders are removed from the green body by heating to temperatures of 300 to 550 ° C for 3 to 8 hours. The binders are thermally split.
- EP-PS 115 104 recommends using a mixture of an oxidized paraffin wax or an oxidized microcrystalline wax with a higher fatty acid as the binder.
- EP-PS 114 746 proposes a polyacetal as a binder.
- thermoplastics or waxes are used, in which thermoplastics or waxes are used, is that the green body has to be heated to temperatures above the softening point of the binder for the pyrolytic removal of the binder, whereby there is a risk of deformation. To avoid such a deformation, it is therefore proposed in US Pat. No. 4,708,838 and in JP-OS 62/12674 to embed the green body in a ceramic powder with high thermal stability.
- the present invention had for its object to provide a method for producing an inorganic sintered molded part by shaping a mixture of a sinterable inorganic powder and a polyoxymethylene as a binder by injection molding or extrusion into a green body, removing the binder and sintering, which does not have the disadvantages shown above has and in particular allows rapid removal of the binder from the green compact without disadvantageous changes to the green compact.
- the procedure according to the invention is such that a sinterable inorganic powder with the polyoxymethylene e.g. mixed in the form of granules.
- Inorganic powders include oxidic ceramic powders, e.g. Al2O3, ZrO2, Y2O3, but also non-oxide ceramic powders such as SiC, Si3N4 or metal powders such as Si, Fe with grain sizes of 0.1 to 50 ⁇ m are used. Mixtures of these substances can of course also be used. Both homopolymers and copolymers with molecular weights of 25,000 to 75,000 are used as polyoxymethylene.
- copolymers are the polymers of trioxane with e.g. Ethylene oxide, 1,3-dioxolane or butanediol formal understood in quantities of e.g. 2 to 4 mass% can be present.
- the mixtures to be shaped advantageously contain 10 to 30% by weight of polyoxymethylene as a compromise between the desired flowability of the mixture and a high packing density of the powder.
- the mixtures can also contain inorganic fibers or whiskers, e.g. from Al2O3, SiC or Si3N4.
- the mixtures can also contain wetting agents, plasticizers or other auxiliaries which have a favorable effect on the rheological properties of the mixtures during deformation.
- the masses to be shaped are produced in the usual way in a kneader or extruder at temperatures of 150 to 200 ° C. If desired, the mass can be allowed to cool and then granulated.
- the usual screw and piston injection molding machines can be used for the molding by injection molding and can be shaped at temperatures from 175 to 200 ° C and pressures from 3,000 to 20,000 kPa into a mold which is kept at 20 to 80 ° C.
- the demolded green compacts are then treated according to the invention in a (gaseous) acidic atmosphere for the purpose of removing the binder.
- (Gaseous) acidic atmospheres can be understood both as pure acids which are in gaseous form at the treatment temperatures, but also as mixtures of acids with a carrier gas. Air or nitrogen or noble gases can be considered as carrier gases.
- Suitable acids are the inorganic acids which are gaseous at room temperature, e.g. the hydrogen halide, hydrogen sulfide or such acids which are appreciably evaporable at the treatment temperatures, e.g. Nitric acid.
- Suitable organic acids are in principle those acids which have a boiling point at normal pressure of below 130 ° C, e.g. Formic acid, acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid.
- the demolded green compacts can also be treated in an atmosphere containing gaseous boron trifluoride for the purpose of removing the binder.
- Gaseous atmospheres containing boron trifluoride can be understood to mean both pure boron trifluoride, but it can also be understood to mean mixtures of boron trifluoride with a carrier gas. Air or nitrogen or noble gases can be considered as carrier gases.
- boron trifluoride instead of boron trifluoride, it is of course also possible to use adducts of boron trifluoride which can be reversibly split back into the starting components at the treatment temperatures and without decomposition of the components.
- ethers e.g. Dimethyl ether, diethyl ether, dibutyl ether and tert-dibutyl methyl ether.
- the green compact is brought into contact with the acidic or BF3-containing atmosphere at temperatures of 20 to 150 ° C. Temperatures of 70 to 130 ° C. are preferably used. From the concentration of the acid or the BF3 in the gas and the temperature used depends on the duration of treatment, with increasing temperature and increasing concentration of the acid shorten the duration of treatment. If a carrier gas is used, this is first passed, for example, through the heated acid or through the BF3 or BF3 adduct and thus loaded with the acid or the BF3 or the BF3 adduct. The loaded carrier gas is then brought to the treatment temperature, which should advantageously be at least 10 ° C. above the loading temperature in order to avoid condensation. After leaving the treatment room, the acid or the BF3 from the gas mixture, which in addition to formaldehyde and trioxane also contains other decomposition products of polyoxymethylene, can be conditioned for reuse.
- the green body thus freed from the binder is then sintered in the usual way at the temperatures specific to the material used.
- the process according to the invention has the advantage that no crack formation can be observed due to the careful removal of the binder. Because of the low temperatures, which are below the softening point of the binder, the green body is not undesirably deformed and the green body does not have to be embedded in a complex manner. Another advantage is the very short duration of the treatment for removing the binder compared to the prior art.
- 25 g of a polyoxymethylene copolymer made from trioxane with 2% by weight of butanediol formal are mixed with 119 g of an Al2O3 powder with an average grain size of 0.7 ⁇ m and 2.4 g of polyethylene glycol as a lubricant and processed into granules in a laboratory kneader.

- the subsequent debinding was carried out in a largely sealed drying cabinet with a volume of 50 l.
- the drying cabinet was loaded with one of the injection molded panes so that the pan was hung on a wire that was passed up through the housing of the drying cabinet and connected to a scale to continuously measure the weight loss.

Abstract
Description
Es ist bekannt, Formteile aus anorganischen Materialien dadurch herzustellen, daß man ein Keramikpulver oder ein Metallpulver mit einem thermoplastischen Harz vermischt, die Mischung zu einem grünen Formkörper verformt, das thermoplastische Harz entfernt und anschließend diesen abgemagerten Grünling zu dem Formkörper versintert. Gemäß der EU-PS 125 912 wird der abgemagerte Grünling vor seiner Sinterung zu seiner im wesentlichen endgültigen Gestalt bearbeitet. Als thermoplastisches Harz bzw. Bindemittel werden z.B. Polystyrol, Polypropylen, Polyethylen und Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymere eingesetzt. Diese Bindemittel werden aus dem Grünling durch Erhitzen auf Temperaturen von 300 bis 550°C während 3 bis 8 Stunden entfernt. Dabei werden die Bindemittel thermisch gespalten. Es muß sehr vorsichtig und langsam auf diese Temperaturen erhitzt werden, damit der Grünling nicht durch unkontrollierten Zerfall der organischen Substanz und damit verbundener Rißbildung geschädigt wird. Aus diesem Grunde soll die Aufheiztemperatur nur 4°C/Stunde betragen. In der US-PS 4 671 912 werden sogar niedrigere Aufheiztemperaturen von 1 bis 2°C/Stunde, zumindest solange, bis die Hälfte des Bindemittels entfernt ist, empfohlen. Diese langen Aufheizperioden von mehreren Tagen vermindern die Wirtschaftlichkeit dieser Verfahren stark.It is known to produce molded parts from inorganic materials by mixing a ceramic powder or a metal powder with a thermoplastic resin, shaping the mixture into a green molded body, removing the thermoplastic resin and then sintering this emaciated green body into the molded body. According to EU-PS 125 912, the emaciated green body is processed to its essentially final shape before sintering. As thermoplastic resin or binder e.g. Polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers are used. These binders are removed from the green body by heating to temperatures of 300 to 550 ° C for 3 to 8 hours. The binders are thermally split. It must be heated very carefully and slowly to these temperatures so that the green body is not damaged by uncontrolled decomposition of the organic substance and the associated cracking. For this reason, the heating temperature should only be 4 ° C / hour. In US Pat. No. 4,671,912, even lower heating temperatures of 1 to 2 ° C./hour are recommended, at least until half of the binder has been removed. These long heating-up periods of several days greatly reduce the economics of these processes.
Zur Beschleunigung der Aufheizzeiten wird in der EP-PS 115 104 empfohlen, als Bindemittel ein Gemisch aus einem oxidierten Paraffinwachs oder einem oxidierten mikrokristallinen Wachs mit einer höheren Fettsäure einzusetzen. In der EP-PS 114 746 wird als Bindemittel ein Polyacetal vorgeschlagen.To accelerate the heating-up times, EP-PS 115 104 recommends using a mixture of an oxidized paraffin wax or an oxidized microcrystalline wax with a higher fatty acid as the binder. EP-PS 114 746 proposes a polyacetal as a binder.
Ein Nachteil bei allen diesen Verfahren, bei denen Thermoplaste oder Wachse eingesetzt werden, besteht darin, daß der Grünkörper zwecks pyrolytischer Entfernung des Bindemittels auf Temperaturen oberhalb des Erweichungspunktes des Bindemittels erhitzt werden muß, wodurch die Gefahr einer Verformung besteht. Zur Vermeidung einer solchen Verformung wird daher in der US-PS 4 708 838 und in der JP-OS 62/12674 vorgeschlagen, den Grünkörper in einem keramischen Pulver mit hoher thermischer Stabilität einzubetten.A disadvantage of all of these processes, in which thermoplastics or waxes are used, is that the green body has to be heated to temperatures above the softening point of the binder for the pyrolytic removal of the binder, whereby there is a risk of deformation. To avoid such a deformation, it is therefore proposed in US Pat. No. 4,708,838 and in JP-OS 62/12674 to embed the green body in a ceramic powder with high thermal stability.
Es ist aber auch bekannt, das Bindemittel aus dem Grünling nicht pyrolytisch sondern durch Extraktion mit einem Lösungsmittel zu entfernen. Gemäß der JP-OS 62/278160 wird als Lösungsmittel überkritisches Kohlendioxid bei 60°C und einen Druck von 200 kg/cm², gemäß der EP-PS 206 685 flüssiges Kohlendioxid bei Temperaturen von -30°C bis 31,1°C eingesetzt. Für die Durchführung dieser Verfahren benötigt man jedoch spezielle Apparaturen.However, it is also known not to remove the binder from the green compact pyrolytically but by extraction with a solvent. According to JP-OS 62/278160, supercritical solvents are used Carbon dioxide at 60 ° C and a pressure of 200 kg / cm², according to EP-PS 206 685 liquid carbon dioxide at temperatures from -30 ° C to 31.1 ° C used. However, special equipment is required to carry out these processes.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung lag die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines anorganischen Sinterformteiles durch Verformen eines Gemisches aus einem sinterbaren anorganischen Pulver und ein Polyoxymethylen als Bindemittel durch Spritzgießen oder Strangpressen zu einem Grünkörper, Entfernen des Bindemittels und Sintern bereitzustellen, das die oben gezeigten Nachteile nicht aufweist und das insbesondere eine rasche Entfernung des Bindemittels aus dem Grünling ohne nachteilige Veränderungen des Grünlings gestattet.The present invention had for its object to provide a method for producing an inorganic sintered molded part by shaping a mixture of a sinterable inorganic powder and a polyoxymethylene as a binder by injection molding or extrusion into a green body, removing the binder and sintering, which does not have the disadvantages shown above has and in particular allows rapid removal of the binder from the green compact without disadvantageous changes to the green compact.
Es wurde nun gefunden, daß diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst werden kann, daß man das Polyoxymethylen durch Behandeln des Grünkörpers in einer gasförmigen säurehaltigen oder gasförmiges Bortrifluorid enthaltenden Atmosphäre entfernt.It has now been found that this object can be achieved by removing the polyoxymethylene by treating the green body in a gaseous acidic or gaseous boron trifluoride-containing atmosphere.
Im einzelnen wird bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren so vorgegangen, daß man ein sinterbares anorganisches Pulver mit dem Polyoxymethylen z.B. in Form von Granulaten vermischt. Unter anorganischen Pulvern werden oxidische Keramikpulver, z.B. Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, Y₂O₃, aber auch nichtoxidische Keramikpulver wie SiC, Si₃N₄ oder Metallpulver wie Si, Fe mit Korngrößen von 0,1 bis 50 µm eingesetzt. Selbstverständlich können auch Mischungen dieser Substanzen eingesetzt werden. Als Polyoxymethylen setzt man sowohl Homopolymerisate als auch Copolymerisate mit Molmassen von 25.000 bis 75.000 ein. Unter Copolymerisaten seien die Polymerisate des Trioxans mit z.B. Ethylenoxid, 1,3-Dioxolan oder Butandiolformal verstanden, die in Mengen von z.B. 2 bis 4 Massen% vorliegen können.In detail, the procedure according to the invention is such that a sinterable inorganic powder with the polyoxymethylene e.g. mixed in the form of granules. Inorganic powders include oxidic ceramic powders, e.g. Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, Y₂O₃, but also non-oxide ceramic powders such as SiC, Si₃N₄ or metal powders such as Si, Fe with grain sizes of 0.1 to 50 µm are used. Mixtures of these substances can of course also be used. Both homopolymers and copolymers with molecular weights of 25,000 to 75,000 are used as polyoxymethylene. Among copolymers are the polymers of trioxane with e.g. Ethylene oxide, 1,3-dioxolane or butanediol formal understood in quantities of e.g. 2 to 4 mass% can be present.
Die zu verformenden Mischungen enthalten vorteilhaft neben den anorganischen Pulvern 10 bis 30 Gew.-% Polyoxymethylen als Kompromiß zwischen der erwünschten Fließfähigkeit der Mischung und einer hohen Packungsdichte des Pulvers. Außer den Pulvern können die Mischungen auch anorganische Fasern oder Whiskers enthalten, z.B. aus Al₂O₃, SiC oder Si₃N₄.In addition to the inorganic powders, the mixtures to be shaped advantageously contain 10 to 30% by weight of polyoxymethylene as a compromise between the desired flowability of the mixture and a high packing density of the powder. In addition to the powders, the mixtures can also contain inorganic fibers or whiskers, e.g. from Al₂O₃, SiC or Si₃N₄.
Zusätzlich können die Mischungen auch Netzmittel, Plastifiziermittel oder andere Hilfsmittel, die die rheologischen Eigenschaften der Mischungen bei der Verformung günstig beeinflussen, enthalten.In addition, the mixtures can also contain wetting agents, plasticizers or other auxiliaries which have a favorable effect on the rheological properties of the mixtures during deformation.
Die Herstellung der zu verformenden Massen erfolgt auf übliche Weise in einem Kneter oder Extruder bei Temperaturen von 150 bis 200°C. Falls erwünscht, kann die Masse abkühlen gelassen und anschließend granuliert werden.The masses to be shaped are produced in the usual way in a kneader or extruder at temperatures of 150 to 200 ° C. If desired, the mass can be allowed to cool and then granulated.
Für die Verformung durch Spritzguß können die üblichen Schnecken- und Kolbenspritzgußmaschinen eingesetzt werden und bei Temperaturen von 175 bis 200°C und Drucken von 3.000 bis 20.000 kPa in eine Form, die auf 20 bis 80°C gehalten wird, verformt werden.The usual screw and piston injection molding machines can be used for the molding by injection molding and can be shaped at temperatures from 175 to 200 ° C and pressures from 3,000 to 20,000 kPa into a mold which is kept at 20 to 80 ° C.
Die entformten Grünlinge werden dann erfindungsgemäß in einer (gasförmigen) säurehaltigen Atmosphäre zwecks Entfernung des Bindemittels behandelt. Unter (gasförmigen) säurehaltigen Atmosphären können sowohl reine Säuren verstanden werden, die bei den Behandlungstemperaturen gasförmig vorliegen, es können aber auch darunter Mischungen von Säuren mit einem Trägergas verstanden werden. Als Trägergase kommen beispielsweise Luft oder Stickstoff oder Edelgase in Betracht. Als Säuren kommen die anorganischen Säuren in Betracht, die bei Raumtemperatur gasförmig sind, z.B. die Halogenwasserstoffe, Schwefelwasserstoff oder solche Säuren, die bei den Behandlungstemperaturen in merklichem Umfang verdampfbar sind, z.B. Salpetersäure.The demolded green compacts are then treated according to the invention in a (gaseous) acidic atmosphere for the purpose of removing the binder. (Gaseous) acidic atmospheres can be understood both as pure acids which are in gaseous form at the treatment temperatures, but also as mixtures of acids with a carrier gas. Air or nitrogen or noble gases can be considered as carrier gases. Suitable acids are the inorganic acids which are gaseous at room temperature, e.g. the hydrogen halide, hydrogen sulfide or such acids which are appreciably evaporable at the treatment temperatures, e.g. Nitric acid.
Als organische Säuren kommen grundsätzlich solche Säuren in Betracht, die einen Siedepunkt bei Normaldruck von unter 130°C haben, z.B. Ameisensäure, Essigsäure oder Trifluoressigsäure.Suitable organic acids are in principle those acids which have a boiling point at normal pressure of below 130 ° C, e.g. Formic acid, acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid.
Anstelle der gasförmigen, säurehaltigen Atmosphäre können aber die entformten Grünlinge auch in einer gasförmigen Bortrifluorid enthaltenden Atmosphäre zwecks Entfernung des Bindemittels behandelt werden. Unter gasförmigen Bortrifluorid enthaltenden Atmosphären kann sowohl reines Bortrifluorid verstanden werden, es können aber auch darunter Mischungen von Bortrifluorid mit einem Trägergas verstanden werden. Als Trägergase kommen beispielsweise Luft oder Stickstoff oder Edelgase in Betracht.Instead of the gaseous, acidic atmosphere, the demolded green compacts can also be treated in an atmosphere containing gaseous boron trifluoride for the purpose of removing the binder. Gaseous atmospheres containing boron trifluoride can be understood to mean both pure boron trifluoride, but it can also be understood to mean mixtures of boron trifluoride with a carrier gas. Air or nitrogen or noble gases can be considered as carrier gases.
Anstelle von Bortrifluorid können selbstverständlich auch Addukte von Bortrifluorid verwendet werden, die bei den Behandlungstemperaturen reversibel und ohne Zersetzung der Komponenten wieder in die Ausgangskomponenten gespalten werden können. Insbesondere geeignet sind die Additionsverbindungen des Bortrifluorids mit Ethern, z.B. Dimethylether, Diethylether, Dibutylether und tert.-Dibutylmethylether.Instead of boron trifluoride, it is of course also possible to use adducts of boron trifluoride which can be reversibly split back into the starting components at the treatment temperatures and without decomposition of the components. The addition compounds of boron trifluoride with ethers, e.g. Dimethyl ether, diethyl ether, dibutyl ether and tert-dibutyl methyl ether.
Der Grünling wird bei Temperaturen von 20 bis 150°C mit der säurehaltigen oder BF₃-haltigen Atmosphäre in Berührung gebracht. Vorzugsweise wendet man Temperaturen von 70 bis 130°C an. Von der Konzentration der Säure bzw. des BF₃ im Gas und der angewandten Temperatur hängt die Behandlungsdauer ab, wobei steigende Temperatur und steigende Konzentration der Säure die Behandlungsdauer abkürzen. Bei Verwendung eines Trägergases wird dieses z.B. zunächst durch die erhitzte Säure oder durch das BF₃ oder BF₃-Addukt geleitet und so mit der Säure bzw. dem BF₃ oder dem BF₃-Addukt beladen. Das beladene Trägergas wird dann auf die Behandlungstemperatur gebracht, die zweckmäßig mindestens 10°C über der Beladungstemperatur liegen sollte, um eine Kondensation zu vermeiden. Nach Verlassen des Behandlungsraumes kann die Säure bzw. das BF₃ aus der Gasmischung, die neben Formaldehyd, Trioxan auch weitere Zersetzungsprodukte des Polyoxymethylens enthält, zwecks Wiederverwendung auskondendiert werden.The green compact is brought into contact with the acidic or BF₃-containing atmosphere at temperatures of 20 to 150 ° C. Temperatures of 70 to 130 ° C. are preferably used. From the concentration of the acid or the BF₃ in the gas and the temperature used depends on the duration of treatment, with increasing temperature and increasing concentration of the acid shorten the duration of treatment. If a carrier gas is used, this is first passed, for example, through the heated acid or through the BF₃ or BF₃ adduct and thus loaded with the acid or the BF₃ or the BF₃ adduct. The loaded carrier gas is then brought to the treatment temperature, which should advantageously be at least 10 ° C. above the loading temperature in order to avoid condensation. After leaving the treatment room, the acid or the BF₃ from the gas mixture, which in addition to formaldehyde and trioxane also contains other decomposition products of polyoxymethylene, can be conditioned for reuse.
Der so vom Bindemittel befreite Grünling wird dann in üblicher Weise bei den für das eingesetzte Material spezifischen Temperaturen versintert.The green body thus freed from the binder is then sintered in the usual way at the temperatures specific to the material used.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren hat den Vorteil, daß durch die schonende Beseitigung des Bindemittels keine Rißbildungen zu beobachten sind. Wegen der niederen Temperaturen, die unterhalb des Erweichungspunktes des Bindemittels liegen, wird der Grünling nicht in unerwünschter Weise verformt und es ist keine aufwendige Einbettung des Grünlings erforderlich. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist die, im Vergleich mit dem Stand der Technik, sehr kurze Dauer der Behandlung zur Entfernung des Bindemittels.The process according to the invention has the advantage that no crack formation can be observed due to the careful removal of the binder. Because of the low temperatures, which are below the softening point of the binder, the green body is not undesirably deformed and the green body does not have to be embedded in a complex manner. Another advantage is the very short duration of the treatment for removing the binder compared to the prior art.

450 Volumenteile eines Polyoxymethylen-Copolymerisats aus Trioxan mit 1,5 Gew.-% Butandiolformal wurden mit 550 Volumenteilen einer Mischung aus 93 Gew.-% Si₃N₄-Pulver, 2 Gew.-% Al₂O₃-Pulver und 5 Gew.-% Y₂O₃-Pulver mit einer durchschnittlichen Korngröße der Pulver von 0,5 bis 1 µm und Zugabe von 40 Volumenteilen Polyethylenglykol der mittleren Molmasse 400 g/Mol als Schmiermittel bei 180°C in einem Laborkneter vermischt und danach zu einem Granulat zerkleinert. Dieses Granulat wurde mittels einer Spritzgußmaschine zu Scheiben mit 80 mm Durchmesser und 4 mm Dicke verarbeitet. Dabei betrug die Massentemperatur 190°C, die Formtemperatur 105°C.450 parts by volume of a polyoxymethylene copolymer from trioxane with 1.5% by weight butanediol formal were mixed with 550 parts by volume of a mixture of 93% by weight Si₃N₄ powder, 2% by weight Al₂O₃ powder and 5% by weight Y₂O₃ powder with an average grain size of the powders of 0.5 to 1 µm and the addition of 40 parts by volume of polyethylene glycol with an average molecular weight of 400 g / mol as a lubricant at 180 ° C. in a laboratory kneader and then comminuted into granules. This granulate was processed by means of an injection molding machine into disks with a diameter of 80 mm and a thickness of 4 mm. The mass temperature was 190 ° C, the mold temperature 105 ° C.
Die sich anschließende Entbinderung wurde in einem weitgehend dichten Trockenschrank mit einem Volumen von 50 l durchgeführt. Die Atmosphäre innerhalb des Trockenschranks wird mittels eines Ventilators stark umgewälzt, um eine konstante Temperatur im gesamten Volumen und eine gute Wärmeübertragung auf den zu entbindernden Körper zu erreichen.The subsequent debinding was carried out in a largely sealed drying cabinet with a volume of 50 l. The atmosphere inside the drying cabinet, a fan circulates strongly in order to achieve a constant temperature in the entire volume and good heat transfer to the body to be deboned.
Der Trockenschrank wurde mit einer der spritzgegossenen Scheiben bestückt und zwar so, daß die Scheibe an einem Draht aufgehängt wurde, der durch das Gehäuse des Trockenschranks nach oben durchgeführt und mit einer Waage verbunden war, um kontinuierlich den Gewichtsverlust zu messen.The drying cabinet was loaded with one of the injection molded panes so that the pan was hung on a wire that was passed up through the housing of the drying cabinet and connected to a scale to continuously measure the weight loss.
Danach wurde der Schrank 20 min lang mit einem Stickstoffstrom von 400 l/h durchströmt, um die Luft bis zu einem O₂-Gehalt kleiner als 1 - 2 Vol.-% zu verdrängen. Gleichzeitig wurde die Atmosphäre im Trockenschrank auf 150°C aufgeheizt. Die Entbinderung wurde gestartet mit dem Zudosieren von 10 l/h BF₃ zum Stickstoffstrom von 400 l/h, so daß die Konzentration des BF₃ in der Dosierung 2,5 Vol.-% betrug.The cabinet was then flowed through for 20 minutes with a nitrogen stream of 400 l / h in order to displace the air to an O₂ content of less than 1-2% by volume. At the same time, the atmosphere in the drying cabinet was heated to 150 ° C. The debinding was started with the addition of 10 l / h of BF₃ to the nitrogen stream of 400 l / h, so that the concentration of the BF₃ in the dosage was 2.5% by volume.
Bei einem Ausgangsgewicht der Scheibe von 46,2 g beträgt der Binderanteil 25,3 Gew.-%, entsprechend 11,7 g. Die folgende Tabelle zeigt die Gewichtsabnahme als Funktion der Zeit:
Die gemäß Beispiel 5 hergestellten Scheiben wurden wie im Beispiel 5 beschrieben behandelt, jedoch mit dem Unterschied, daß dem Stickstoffstrom (400 l/h) anstelle des Bortrifluorids stündlich 50 g Bortrifluoriddiethyletherat zudosiert wurde und die Mischung innerhalb eines zu einer Spirale aufgewickelten 5 m langen Rohres mit einem Innendurchmesser von 3 mm aus rostfreiem Stahl auf 170°C erhitzt wurde. Das Gas wurde in den Trockenschrank geleitet, in dem sich eine Temperatur von 120°C einstellt.The disks produced according to Example 5 were treated as described in Example 5, but with the difference that 50 g of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate per hour were metered into the nitrogen stream (400 l / h) instead of the boron trifluoride and the mixture within a 5 m long tube wound into a spiral with an inner diameter of 3 mm stainless steel was heated to 170 ° C. The gas was fed into the drying cabinet, in which a temperature of 120 ° C. was reached.
Bei einem Ausgangsgewicht der Scheibe von 100,0 g beträgt der Binderanteil 12,7 Gew.-% entsprechend 12.7 g. Die folgende Tabelle zeigt die Gewichtsabnahme als Funktion der Zeit.
